SUMMARY:Embracing the Unpredictable: A Night of Events with Light Work
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a night of events on July 26th! From 5-7 PM\, we will have opening receptions at Light Work (316 Waverly Avenue) for our Summer Exhibitions\, According to the Laws of Chance and the 2024 Light Work Grants in Photography Exhibition. At 8:30 PM\, Light Work’s Urban Video Project will have a live video performance from our regional commissioned artist\, Paulina Velázquez Solís\, on the Everson Plaza (401 Harrison Street). \n  \nAccording to the Laws of Chance \nAccording to the Laws of Chance is a subtitle included in many works by the Dadaist painter Jean Arp that describes his systematic yet chance-driven method of creating his simple and playful paintings. Arp would let torn pieces of paper fall to the floor to determine his painting or collage compositions. Although the outcomes are different\, Arp’s ethos can be found in the work of the photographers selected for this group exhibition. \nThe artists in this exhibition—Cheryl Miller\, Claire A. Warden\, Jaclyn Wright\, Josh Thorson\, Kyle Tata\, Louis Chavez\, and Will Stith\, and Light Work’s collection artists\, Cecil McDonald\, Jr.\, James Welling\, Peter Finnemore\, and Rita Hammond—are using and defining chance as a core element of their largely divergent practices. \nChance is a core tenet in photography. Anyone who has ever taken a photograph knows that the translation of light through the camera and onto film or a digital sensor is never one-to-one. Much effort is expended in tamping down the unwanted and unexpected elements of image-making. The image-makers in this exhibition embrace the unpredictable and find ways to amplify chance to suit their own conceptual and creative needs\, from using darkroom materials that reveal process rather than mitigate it\, to employing the camera to pin down quick moments of emotion in daily life\, to exploring images that heighten the tactile aspects of a traditionally flat medium. The diverse work produced by this group of artists demonstrates that chance is being put to use as an essential creative tool in photographic practices today. \nKathleen O. Ellis Gallery\, Light Work\nReception: Friday\, July 26\, 5-7pm \n  \n  \n2024 Light Work Grants in Photography Exhibition  \nLight Work announces the 49th annual Light Work Grants in Photography! The 2024 award recipients are Malik Abdoulmoumine\, Rosely Htoo\, and Kari Varner.  The Light Work Grants in Photography are part of Light Work’s ongoing effort to provide support and encouragement to Central New York artists working in photography within a fifty-mile radius of Syracuse. \nJeffrey J. Hoone Gallery\, Light Work\nReception: Friday\, July 26\, 5-7pm \n  \n  \nUnseen/forgotten: An ode to the humble landscape | Invisible/olvidado: Oda al paisaje humilde \nPaulina Velázquez Solís will be present for a live performance on the Everson Plaza on July 26th at 8:30 PM. \nThis project\, which will include interactive and performance-based elements\, will explore Central New York as a site of “post-industrial natural wonder”\, using regionally extinct species in local herbaria as tools to meditate on  “[t]he tension between what prevails and what has shifted or disappeared” in a field of “memory\, transformation\, and territory”.

SUMMARY:Crystal Z Campbell: Artist Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Light Work’s Urban Video Project presents Makahiya\, an exhibition projected on the facade of the Everson\, featuring new work by multimedia artist Crystal Z Campbell. \nMakahiya\, a Tagalog word that translates to “shame” or “shyness”\, is the latest short experimental film from Crystal Z Campbell. Rooted in botanical research on a plant that displays the unusual trait of thigmonasty\, or touch-induced movement\, Campbell’s film is structured like intertwined vines. Digital video filmed on a recent trip to their mother’s ancestral homeland in the Philippines mingles with archival footage\, hand drawn animation\, and manipulated photographs. Campbell’s work explores this seemingly sentient plant’s paradoxical identity\, from  rampant weed to indigenous medicinal plant. Makahiya reflects on photosynthesis\, memory\, and the violent colonial impetus of regimented forgetting. \nMakahiya is an excerpt from Campbell’s longer\, forthcoming film project\, Post Masters. This body of work is drawn from Campbell’s familial history––a Black military father formerly stationed in the Philippines and Filipinx mother hailing from the archipelago\, who both retired from the US Post Office. Campbell explores both explicit and implicit traces of labor\, landscape\, love\, and bodies as intimate agents\, modes\, and witnesses of empire ripe for decolonizing through the unraveling of sound\, image\, and cinematic time. \nAll programs are free and open to the public \nScreening: \nFebruary 22 – May 25\, 2024 \nThursday – Saturday\, dusk – 11pm \nEverson Museum Plaza \n401 Harrison Street\, Syracuse\, NY \nLecture: \nThursday March 21\, 6p.m. – Artist Talk at Hosmer Auditorium at the Everson Museum of Art

SUMMARY:2024 BFA Art Photography Annual Reception
DESCRIPTION:Light Work presents the 2024 BFA Art Photography Annual of photographs by seniors from the Art Photography program in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. The exhibition takes place in the Jeffrey J. Hoone Gallery from January 19th – March 8th\, 2024.  We will host a reception with the exhibiting artists on Thursday\, January 25th\, at 6:30p.m. The in-person reception is free and open to the public and includes refreshments. \nThe exhibiting artists are Keming Chen\, Madison Chloe\, Zhiyu Feng\, Siya Hu\, Megan Ivy\, Megan Jonas\, Yu-Hsia Liu\, Tyber Longacre\, Chika Winston Ma\, Clara Neville\, Hieu Minh Nguyen\, Avery Wild\, Suhao Yang\, and Joe Zhao. Nelson Chan served as juror\, selecting Siya Hu as Best in Show. \nAssociate Professor Laura Heyman\, coordinator of the Art Photography BFA program\, writes: \nEach spring\, seniors in the art photography program exhibit a selection of images from their senior thesis at Light Work. Senior thesis is a yearlong (or longer) in-depth photographic exploration of a subject chosen by the students. The open-ended nature of the process can be a challenge\, and the work often changes radically between the beginning of September\, when students start their projects\, and December\, when the work is installed for exhibition. Students choose\, edit\, and print the images in collaboration and with the assistance Light Work’s curatorial staff and master printers. The BFA Art Photography Annual is not only the first exhibition for many of our students\, but also an important learning opportunity for them.  In addition to giving students the space to imagine how their thesis work might develop over the next several months\, the Art Photography Annual introduces their thesis work to their peers\, the local community and the renowned curators and critics who jury the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Arko Datto: Shunyo Raja (Kings of a Bereft Land) Reception and Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Arko Datto’s epic three-part series chronicles the lives of those living in the world’s largest delta\, variously known as the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta. Climate change has rapidly put this immense region and its inhabitants in danger. Even as the artist summarizes the complexity and scale of the challenges confronting both\, he knows his time with this landscape is fleeting. \n  \nArtist Talk begins at 6:30 pm.
